    Brief about Civil Engg Department:

    Civil Engineering Department is the oldest department in this institute right from the establishmentof Government College of Engineering in Nagpur 1956. The department offers the undergraduatecourse of B.Tech in Civil Engineering and Four Postgraduate Courses of M.Tech as given below.

    Program Description

    UG in Civil Engineering Started with 60 seats in 1956

    Intake increased to 71 in 2008

    Intake increase to 82 in 2009

    Intake increase to 92 in 2010

    PG in Civil Engineering Department

    1. Environmental Engineering2. Water Resources Engineering3. Construction Technology and Mgt

    4. Transportation Engineering

    Started in 1966 (32 seats )

    Started in 2005 (20 seats )Started in 2010 (20 seats )

    Started in 2012 (20 seats )

    VISION:

    To contribute effectively to the National Endeavour of producing quality human resource of worldclass standard in Civil Engineering by developing a sustainable technical education system to meetthe changing technological needs of the Country incorporating relevant of social concerns and to

    build an environment to create and propagate innovative technologies for the economic developmentof Nation.

    MISSION:

    The Mission of the undergraduate Civil Engineering program is to develop students into capablecivil engineering graduates by imparting appropriate high quality education in Civil Engineering sothat they could be readily adapted by the service sector to meet the challenges faced by the Nation.The program strives for excellence in engineering education and profession. It also aims to promoteall round development of the personality of students by suitably involving them in Co-curricular andextra-curricular activities.

    The number of credits attached to a subject depends on number of classes in a week. For example a subject

    with 3-1-0 (L-T-P) means it has 3 Lectures, 1 Tutorial and 0 Practical in a week. This subject will have

    eight credits (3x2 + 1x1 + 0x1 = 8). If a student is declared pass in a subject, then he/she gets the credits

    associated with that subject. Depending on marks scored in a subject, student is given a Grade. Each grade

    has got certain grade points as follows:

    Grades AA AB BB BC CC CD DD FF

    Grade Points 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 Fail

    The performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of two indices, viz. the Semester Grade Point

    Average (SGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for a semester and Cumulative Grade Point Average

    (CGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for all the completed semesters at any point in time. SGPA and

    CGPA are:
